Burns Beck Moss

Sustains a variety of plant species which have become increasingly rare as other mires have been drained or planted. Specialities of the site include 16 species of Sphagnum moss, bog rosemary, cranberry, bog asphodel, sundew and marsh cinquefoil. Burns Beck itself is a good place for yellow water lily. Willow carr and reedbed occur in small patches on the nature reserve.
